The PMBA Program has two entering classes each year – Fall and Spring.
The PMBA program is currently accepting applications for its Fall 2013 (late August) class.
The PMBA Program has some students with relatively little work experience and some with decades of experience, but most are somewhere in between. Olin PMBAs come from a wide variety of functional roles within dozens of area companies and organizations, and their academic backgrounds range from the social sciences and business to the humanities and engineering.
In short, there is no one “right” or “wrong” background to be a good Olin PMBA candidate. To ensure diversity in each entering class, we admit students with varied backgrounds, talents and interests. We consider every applicant’s academic ability, leadership potential, professional experience and career goals – and how well those are communicated to us. Every PMBA applicant is carefully considered by our Admissions Committee, using a holistic approach with both objective and subjective criteria.

A copy of all official transcripts (with degree and degree conferred date) will ultimately be required for all enrolling students.

TOEFL or IELTS (Academic Format) – Required if your native language is not English, unless you have completed an undergraduate or graduate degree at a college or university where the primary medium of instruction is English. The TOEFL institution code for Washington University in St. Louis is 6929. The TOEFL or IELTS is not required for U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.
We don’t require or accept letters of recommendation. Rather, we ask that you submit names and contact information for two references as part of the online application. The Admissions Committee may contact these references as part of its evaluation of your application.
Invitation-only interviews are conducted at the discretion of the Admissions Committee after the submission of a complete application.
If a PMBA applicant is denied admission for a certain class, we are happy to counsel the candidate on how they could improve their candidacy, all with the intention of being admitted in the future. In most cases the candidate would not have to submit an entirely new application to be re-considered for admission. For more information on the re-application process, please contact the admissions office at mba@wustl.edu or (314) 935-7301.
